That's an in-game message

To play devil's advocate, if we're going down the snapshot in time argument, I'm pretty sure Old Ben was gone before Luke became Commander Skywalker.

That said, I think it's a good lineup of heroes related to Luke, would have been cool if Chewy or Raid Han could have been used as alternates, i.e. pick 5 of 7 but either way I won't get him this time.

I hope it comes back again at some time and gives me something to aim for (though Old Ben will take me some time).

When I watch The Clone Wars on Netflix I believe Clone War Chewie is CGI and Original Trilogy Chewie is a Costume so there is one physical difference. But that is just a bad joke.

The argument that because they look the same they must be the same does not take in account the life experience Chewie gained since the Clone Wars. He went from the Wookie Military leader to a smuggler. Just as much time passed from General Kenobie to Old Ben for him to learn some new tricks and due to age have lost some tricks.

I agree with the OP that Chewie is just as much apart of Luke's Journey as the other characters. What I would prefer is that they change the Clone War Chewie and Create a new Chewie. Clone War Chewie would have Galactic Republic, Jedi, and Clone Synergies and regular Chewie would have Scoundrel, and Rebel synergies.

To me unfortunate that is not the direction the game went in but I think it would be nice and maybe in a future update.

Haha, I knew that this argument could easily be made to counter the time argument. Alas, this is what we have. Perhaps, since he was there in spirit the whole time... :)

Personally, I find Yoda's omission more puzzling.

Adding Yoda to the list and taking out Luke(himself) would make this event even more exclusive from the eyes of EA, and, well, who trained Luke?

Yoda will likely be needed in the next part

Yoda trained him to be a Jedi, that's the final step. That'll be when we see Jedi Luke, this is commander Luke

Thanks for the reminder ColonelTravass.

You can't be serious. Chewbacca is the same whether clone wars or ROTS or TFA. He doesn't change. His look doesn't change. His weapon doesn't change. So what the heck would you do with different iterations of the same character when the only thing different about them is there tag? How does that mesh with your logic colonel?

Hey that's funny what you did to my name. Really. Great job. Now let's get back to your mistakes.

1.) What you think Chewbacca should be doesn't matter. What matters is what the game thinks.

2.) Not only did the game long ago set a precedent different versions of characters, Clone Wars Chewbacca is the very first character you get in the game - not plain ol' Chewbacca. You get Clone Wars Chewbacca. That should have fired some neurons in your brain that said - hmmm, I see they've designated him this way, which probably means something.

3.) A character labeled as coming from the Clone Wars, no matter what you think, is not a character that interacted with Luke in his journey from Tatooine to blowing up the Death Star.

I have a feeling you will be bothered by this as you make your way through junior high school or wherever you'll be for the next 3-4 years.

lol. So enjoyable to discuss this with you ColonelTravass. Let's see if you can understand this...don't worry I'll go slow for you and I'll try not to distract you with complaining.

If we were to get a new hope Chewbacca what do you think would differentiate him from the clone wars Chewbacca besides the label? Can you think of a different outstanding ability new hope Chewbacca should have that clone wars Chewbacca doesn't have? Would you give him a different weapon? What besides the tag would be different?

I don't think anything would be different between the two characters because they are basically the same character with the same look. What I think will eventually happen is that the clone wars Chewbacca is going to get an update and the clone wars tag is going to be changed to rebel and resistance. Would you not agree that his clone wars tag has always been and continues to be both useless and confusing?

So what I'm saying is that for Chewbacca, regardless of how you may feel about game vs movie, because he is based on the movie character, will always be the same character with the same look and the same weapon. His tag is just useless -- it means nothing. If you disagree then tell me what purpose his clone wars tag has.

This is saddening. chewie is a deep character with rich history and multifaceted character development. This is hurtful and chewie would be insulted.

Also His weapon later in life is a modified storm trooper blaster.

That's ****. Chewie is the same character in all the movies for crying out loud.

So is Luke. And we're getting a 2nd one.
Not sure if you've noticed but this game ain't the movies. It's the game.

What are you talking about? Lukes character progresses. Chewie doesn't change. The game is mostly based on the movies. Not sure if you've noticed this. Duh

Actually he does, or at least his crossbow does, Clone Wars Chewbacca uses a different one

But Old Ben isn't teaming up with Commander Skywalker, is he? He's teaming up with Farmboy Luke on Luke's journey to later become Commander Skywalker.
